"Hm? Where have I heard this phrase before? "
Jasmine Undermoon's heart skipped a beat.
Her memory was pretty good, so she could recall it after thinking for a bit.
"It's the new opening animation!"
"The half-elf in the opening animation is Orloss?"
Jasmine Undermoon's interest was piqued.
When she played games, she didn't really like to skip through the story, so she would always fast forward.
It was only because she couldn't skip through the story in "Elven Nation" that she did a few quests to familiarize herself with the game. After that, she stopped accepting quests from NPCs.
However, everyone liked to listen to stories.
Especially when their curiosity was piqued.
The hints from the opening animation, as well as Caesar's speculation about the trial quest, made Jasmine Undermoon curious about the story that she had missed out on because she had been distracted.
Curiosity was the beginning of one's downfall.
This applied to everything.
Under Caesar's expectant and nervous gaze, Jasmine Undermoon flipped through the deeper pages of the record.
The record was filled with pictures and text, as well as various reminiscing videos and background music.
The entire story was based on the descriptions and memories of several NPCs, gradually unraveling the secrets behind the Orloss Demiplane.
It was the story of a hero who sacrificed everything for his beliefs.
It was the story of a pitiful creature who willingly fell into darkness in order to revive the Mother Goddess.
For the sake of his beliefs and perseverance, the Demigod Orloss burned everything he had.
The entire story was based on the growth of the half-elf Orloss, describing the secrets of the thousand-year Divine War, the creation of the Orloss Demiplane, the goal of the Creator Church, the decline of the Demiplane, and the perseverance and fall of the Demigod Orloss.
In the end, the hero fell amidst curses and anger, while the Mother Goddess returned in jubilation.
The person who designed the story was obviously very skilled.
The entire record was written from different angles, using the words of different people, layer by layer, unraveling the secrets of the Orloss Demiplane step by step.
At the same time, with the help of the background music and emotions, the story perfectly portrayed the solemnity of history, the sense of duty of the elves, and the tragedy of the Demigod Orloss.
As the story unraveled, a solemn, tragic, and wonderful history unconsciously appeared before one's eyes.
At first, Jasmine Undermoon didn't pay much attention to the story, but as she continued reading, she gradually became serious.
She had never had the chance to properly experience the game's storyline.
This was because, in her opinion, the core of an MMO-RPG adventure game like this was not the story.
Perhaps those word games that focused on the plot would have more interesting plot texts, but that was for the sake of selling the plot. There was no comparison.
In Jasmine Undermoon's eyes, most of the stories in online games were just there to make up the numbers.
The clumsy story, the logic that could not stand up to scrutiny, the rough background, the forceful sensationalism, and the sometimes awkward narration. It was really a waste of time.
Moreover, it was originally for the reward of the quest. Not many people would really settle down and go through the storyline.
In Jasmine Undermoon's opinion, rather than dozing off and completing quests, she would rather level up and fight with other players.
Although she was curious at first, Jasmine Undermoon was prepared to curse after reading the plot.
However, Jasmine under the Moon fell silent when she tried to understand the story behind the Priestly Trial.
This was a very thoughtful story, but it was also a story with sorrow.
She did not know why, but Jasmine under the Priestly Trial felt a sense of historical authenticity, epic, and tragedy that she had never seen before in any other game's storyline.
That feeling … it was as if this story had really happened.
Unknowingly, as the story narrated, Jasmine under the Moon's mind seemed to have sketched out the image of a hero of flesh and blood who carried everything on his shoulders and sacrificed everything. Even when he fell, he did not forget his original beliefs.
This was especially true when she heard the laughter of the citizens of Orloss. That kind of happiness formed a sharp contrast with the solemn and tragic story, making Jasmine under the Moon feel inexplicably depressed and sad.
It was true that Jasmine under the Moon did not pay attention to the storyline in the past.
However, Elven Nation's high immersion had already determined that even if you did not pay attention to the storyline, you would still more or less interact with the NPCs.
And after interacting with the NPCs, over time, some kind of subtle influence would occur.
The most important factor was the empathy and immersion of the Elven civilization in Elven Nation.
And this kind of empathy and immersion would undoubtedly further strengthen the influence of the story of Orloss, making it easier for the players to be moved.
This was the case for Jasmine under the Moon.
And when she noticed her own emotions, she could not help but be slightly startled.
'I … was actually moved by a story?'
Jasmine under the Moon felt somewhat amused.
She continued to scroll through the storyline, wanting to see if there was anything else after Orloss's disappearance, such as whether he was brought back to Elven Nation by the Goddess.
However, she discovered that the storyline had ended …
"That's it?"
She was slightly startled.
"Did he really die? Such a hero? "
She muttered to herself and let out a deep sigh that even she herself did not notice …
"It's a great storyline, right? It's such a pity for Orloss! The Priestess profession also has a greater sense of mission and responsibility than I thought. "
Kaiser's voice came from beside her again.
Hearing this deeply emotional sigh, Jasmine under the Moon turned off the storyline and subconsciously turned her head.
When she saw that the other party was so moved that the rims of his eyes turned slightly red, she almost could not hold back her laughter.
"Pfft … It's just a storyline, how could you be moved to tears? Are you still a man? It's just a game setting, don't take it too seriously. "
"Eh … Can't a man be moved? Sigh … I've never been able to resist such stories. "
Kaiser shook his head.
After saying this, he looked at Jasmine again, and when he noticed that she was obviously more disappointed than before, he could not help but smile.
As an observant person, Kaiser was all too familiar with such expressions.
Wasn't this the expression of someone who had just finished reading a story, was moved, and wanted to continue reading?
"Speaking of which, aren't you moved at all? Or … after playing 'Elven Nation' until now, do you really only treat it as a game? "
He looked at Jasmine under the Moon and asked.
After hearing Kaiser's words, Jasmine under the Moon fell silent.
After a while, she sighed and said:
"I don't know.
However, it's indeed a good story. "
After saying this, Jasmine under the Moon looked at Kaiser, and when she saw the unique fatherly smile on his face, she could not help but blush again.
"Of … of course! It's just a little bit good! "
She stuttered as she explained.
"I know, I know, as long as you like it!"
Kaiser said with a smile.
Jasmine under the Moon was speechless.
"Who likes it …"
She muttered in a low voice.
After saying this, she closed the trial interface and changed the topic while walking towards the Temple of Life.
"Okay, the trial is over, let's go and complete the quest."
When they accepted the trial quest, they had to pray again to complete it.
There was no World Tree in Orloss, so if they wanted to complete the quest, they had to go to the Temple of Life.
The rebuilt temple was very grand. It was said that the Adorable Committee was the main architect, and it was modeled after St. Peter's Basilica on the Bluestar.
After all, it was the core temple of a demiplane, and it had to govern millions of NPCs, so it was good to have it grand.
When the two arrived at the temple, there were already many players who had completed the trial.
Everyone was here to complete the quest, and everyone was excitedly talking about the trial quest's plot.
"So this demiplane has such a story …"
"I didn't expect that the boss we defeated was also an ally."
"Wake up, it was clearly the goddess who defeated him."
"Both of you, wake up, it was clearly Orloss who gave up on the battle …"
"No matter what, to the elves, he is indeed a hero, and to the goddess, he is also a devout believer."
"Perhaps … the goal of this trial is to let us understand his beliefs …" Lin Yun muttered to himself.
"That's right, the core of Elven Kingdom is immersion. I think that if you want to become a truly outstanding priestess, you might need to truly integrate into the NPCs."
"I'm getting more and more curious about priestesses."
The two of them queued for five or six minutes before it was finally their turn.
Jasmine Undermoon prayed to the holy statue of the goddess and returned to the Profession Change interface.
Her vision changed again, and Jasmine Undermoon vaguely saw the figure of the goddess.
She saw the goddess sitting on the throne and smiling at her.
"Chosen One, you have completed the trial and have the qualifications to become a priestess in training."
After saying this, she gently waved her hand, and Jasmine Undermoon felt a gentle power enter her body.
"Devout Chosen One, preach my path to the earth …"
"I hope that you will always have a sincere heart, and that you will officially become my preacher."
The goddess' voice was soft and gentle, and it seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts.
After the goddess finished speaking, Jasmine Undermoon's vision changed again and returned to reality in the game.
As soon as she returned to reality, a new system notification appeared in her vision.
[Ding.]
[Congratulations, devout Chosen One, you have activated the priestess profession.]
[Your current priestess level is: Priestess in training.]
[Priestess in training is still not a true priestess. If you want to become a true priestess, you still need to complete the priestess mission.]
[Ding.]
[You have triggered the priestess mission: Preach.]
[Mission Objective: Cultivate 3 believers of the Goddess of Life.]
[Mission Time Limit: 3 days.]
[Mission Reward: Promoted to Priestess in training and activated the Divine Favored System.]
[Mission Penalty: The priestess profession has failed and needs to undergo the trial again.]
[Ding.]
[You have received the skill: Eye of Faith.]
[Eye of Faith: Activate the skill to determine the level of the other party's faith in the Goddess of Life.]
[You have received the virtual item: Sacred Book of Life.]
[The virtual Sacred Book of Life can be read at any time in the priestess interface. It will be a powerful tool for your preaching …]
… …
"Hmm? I'm not a true priestess yet? "
Jasmine Undermoon frowned slightly.
"You need to preach 3 believers to become a Priestess in training, which means you'll have the priestess level. Jasmine, let's go preach now, okay? "
Caesar said.
Hearing his words, Jasmine Undermoon nodded her head slightly.
The two quickly left the temple and returned to the streets of Segers City.
As for Jasmine Undermoon, she was also checking her character panel as she walked.
At this moment, her character panel had undergone a subtle change.
Below the mana value, there was a new golden energy value called God's Affinity Value.
"Divine Favored Points?"
Jasmine Undermoon's heart skipped a beat.
She focused her attention and the description of the Divine Favored Points appeared in her mind.
Divine Favored Points was a number unique to priestesses. It was the energy consumed when casting divine spells.
The Divine Favored Points were related to the priestess level and would continuously recover over time.
When the priestess successfully recruited believers, it would also increase her Divine Favored Points. However, the amount of Divine Affinity Points that exceeded one's own limit would not be replenished over time.
However, although the Divine Favored Points appeared, it was not yet activated.
"It's still not activated? This should be the Divine Favored System, right? "
"To put it bluntly, it's the energy bar of a priestess, and it can be accumulated through preaching. In other words, it encourages players to preach …"
Jasmine Undermoon pondered.
Then, the key was how to preach.
Thinking of this, Jasmine Undermoon glanced at the Sacred Book of Life on the priestess interface.
"Use this to preach? Could it be a skill? Hmm … It can't really be a Sacred Book made by players, right? "
She tilted her head.
"Hey, Jasmine! Why don't you try the [Eye of Faith]? You can really see the level of faith an NPC has! "
At this time, Caesar's slightly excited voice interrupted Jasmine Undermoon's train of thought.
After hearing Caesar's words, she turned her attention to the newly acquired skill.
[Eye of Faith: Consumes no Priestess level cost. Cooldown: 3 minutes. After activation, check the level of faith of all targets within sight for 10 seconds.]
[Type and level of faith are indicated by color. The difference is as follows:]
[Other Believers: Red]
[Unbelievers: Green]
[Shallow Believers: White]
[Devout Believers: Blue]
[Fanatics: Purple]
[Saint's Chosen: Gold]
"Interesting."
Jasmine Undermoon's interest was piqued.
She raised her head and looked at the residents around her before activating the [Eye of Faith].
Her field of vision suddenly changed, and in her eyes, a halo appeared on everyone's body.
Most of them were green, a small number were white, and a very small number were blue.
In addition, many NPCs with green halos were surrounded by enthusiastic players.
"Are they preaching …?"
Jasmine Undermoon's heart skipped a beat.
The competitive spirit of a competitive player was unconsciously revealed. Jasmine Undermoon took a deep breath and said to Caesar:
"Let's go, we're going to preach now! Big sister will take you flying today. "
Using the [Eye of Faith], Jasmine Undermoon quickly locked on to a resident NPC and took the lead to walk over.
It was a girl who looked to be about 15 or 16 years old. She was dressed like a commoner.
She was curiously looking at the players in the city with longing and yearning in her eyes.
Jasmine Undermoon and Caesar soon arrived in front of the girl.
The girl was startled by the sudden appearance of the two players in front of her.
She quickly bowed and said respectfully and nervously, "Greetings.
Greetings … Lord of the Celestials, is … is there anything I can help you with? "
Jasmine Undermoon was also a little nervous.
She was fine when they were not talking, but when they started talking, she was more or less a little nervous.
It was because "Elven Nation" was too realistic.
Even though she knew that this was a game, she was still not used to talking to an NPC who was like a real person …
She had never done any NPC quests in "Elven Nation" not only because she hated the story, but also because she was not good enough.
However, compared to real life, it was still much better.
At least she did not have the inexplicable uneasiness, inferiority, and shame of being exposed in front of the public. She could still talk to others in the game.
Moreover, didn't she already have a bet? She could use the [Holy Bible of Life] to spread her faith.
All she needed to do was to open the [Holy Bible of Life] and read it.
Hmm …
Wait a minute.
She did not seem to have studied how to spread her faith.
Moreover, the priest's introduction did not explain it in detail.
The system only told her that she needed to rely on the [Holy Bible of Life] to spread her faith.
Jasmine Undermoon swallowed her saliva as a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
Rely on the [Holy Bible of Life] to spread her faith?
This … shouldn't be that complicated, and it shouldn't be that hardcore … right?
It must be!
This is just a game. If it was complicated, who would play it?
Moreover, Caesar was watching from the side. She had to set a good example!
Thinking up to this point, Jasmine Undermoon took a deep breath and revealed a smile that she thought was kind but was actually a little stiff.
She calmed herself down and said to the girl:
"Hello, have you heard of the Goddess of Life?"
"The Goddess of Life?"
The girl was stunned for a moment before she nodded.
"Yes, the great being who saved us all."
It's good that you know.
Jasmine Undermoon secretly nodded.
Next, she opened the [Holy Bible of Life] and started to preach. Although she did not know how it worked, she guessed that it would be an automatic preach.
However, when she opened the [Holy Bible of Life], she was slightly stunned.
In her field of vision …
This was the holy bible written by the players!
An electronic version!
"Preach … preach with this?"
Jasmine Undermoon was stunned.
Wait a minute.
There must be a button somewhere to preach, right?
Jasmine Undermoon's eyes kept looking around the interface, flipping it over and over …
However, after flipping through the interface, she could not find anything other than the electronic version of the [Holy Bible of Life].
At this moment, Jasmine Undermoon was really starting to panic.
She subconsciously swallowed her saliva and looked at the holy bible labeled as "essential for preaching".
Jasmine Undermoon was speechless.
This … can't be, right?
Are you really going to preach with the teachings?!
Are you that hardcore?!
Isn't this a joke?!
This was something that the players had come up with blindly!
And … isn't this a game?!
Jasmine Undermoon was stunned on the spot.
Looking at the beautiful and powerful Protoss lady who had suddenly come to talk to him, her face suddenly turned white and red. Her eyes were wide open, and she was even looking for a button as if she was having a stroke. But after she stopped talking …
The girl standing opposite Jasmine Undermoon was completely dumbfounded.
